TOPDRESSING FOR LAWNS

Topdress lawns with a thin layer of Soil3organic humus compost to renovate and improve an existing residential or commercial lawn or sports field turfgrass. With this layer of Soil3 compost we are addressing the problems of thinning or unhealthy sod and/or providing the first application of fertilizer for the year.

Use compost topdressing to improve lawns and as a fertilizer application:

Only two weeks ago this homeowner topdressed with Soil3 organic compost for his first fertilizer application – the topdressed area is already dark green thanks to Nature’s Nutrients inherent in Soil3.

A border around the lawn was kept untreated because that grass will be removed and a fence installed along the front and driveway with a flower border in the back; the untreated area is light green because it didn’t receive any Soil3 (so no nutrients). This is just one example of why we strongly believe Soil3 is the best top dressing for lawns. The difference is night and day!

Soil3 as a grass topdressing provides these benefits:

Instructions: Topdressing and aerating go hand-in-hand. And it’s easy! We have a how-to video and written instructions on our How-to Topdress Lawns with Soil3 Organic Compost page. [Topdressing of turf also refers to a thick layer (no more than 1/2 of the blade height) of sand intended to improve the surface texture of the land under the turf, i.e., to even out bumps and depressions. The goal of topdressing like that is to create a smooth playing surface for sports fields and golf courses and is often necessary to smooth newly established home and commercial lawns. Please note this is not the type of topdressing we are referring to in this article, but we have a product called Level Mix, that was formulated for this purpose.]
